As soon as you click on Future, you will see a dashboard like this. Look here, the first option is USD M, you have to click on it. Ok? You have to live on this. We will look at the remaining options later because future this is visible in front of you: Ethereum USD. This means that trading for this pair is open here. If you want to trade any other pair of futures in any other crypto then you simply have to click on the arrow button above it. All the trading pairs will be visible to you. Look here, BTC will be available, BNB will be available, Ethereum will be available or if you want to search any other pair, you will get them here also. So, we go over to Ethereum here. Look at the first option here, you understood that first of all you have to select your pair here. After that you will see some options here. Ok ? You should leave the first option. This is graphs. As soon as you click on it, see here, inside the future trade, this graph of Ethereum USD pair will open here. Here you can select the time frame. For example, I have done 1 minute here. Goes above the back button. After that, look here, the option of plus minus As soon as you click on it, this window will appear in front of you above the plus minus. This means that you are looking to execute a trade. But before placing a trade, you want to do your own calculations as to how much For example, see here, the first option is long key and short key. A long position means that you want to open a buy position. Short means that you want to open a sell position. We go over to Long. After that, you will see the margin option as to how much margin you want to take from the market. That is, how much do you want to borrow. Ok? This means that if you have $10 and want to open a trade for $, you will need to take 10x. That means if you have $10 in your wallet and you want to open a position here by borrowing the remaining ₹90 from the market, and you want to open a position here by borrowing the remaining ₹90 from the market, your margin here.

Isolate means that if you have $ 50 or $54 in your wallet and you take a trade of only $10, then if the trade goes into loss, only $10 of yours will be executed. There will be a loss of only $10. The cross means if you have opened a trade of $10. If that position starts incurring losses, So mostly we go to the cross only. This increases your liquidation price. you can also go for isolate. Want to take low risk. That means you become a little expert here then the cross position is the best. And again see here the margin has come, how much margin you want to borrow. For example again I am telling you that if you have $10 then 10 * 10 means 10 if you have $10 then 10 * 10 means 10 * 10 your trade of $100 will be open. So if you are in the beginning then you have to start with low margin. This means that when you make a profit, it will be 10x and if you incur a loss, your loss will be 10x. So you have to select this leverage very carefully. We Click on it.
